 Aspen is the largest city and county seat of Pitkin County, Colorado. Founded as a mining camp in the Colorado Silver Boom and named because of the abundance of aspen trees in the area, the city is now a ski resort and cultural center. The city emerged as a skiing mecca following World War II and the foundation of the Aspen Skiing Company by Walter Paepcke, a Chicago industrialist who sought to create a utopian community of the mind and body. Paepcke's legacy of the Aspen/Snowmass resorts, along with such institutions as the Aspen Institute and the Aspen Music Festival and School, have made the city a year-round international destination for recreation, arts, business, and intellectual discourse.

Tucker then filed a motion to dismiss, saying that restrictions on the sale and resale of units constituted “rent control” in violation of Colorado law. Tucker was denied and then filed an appeal, which was denied earlier this month. Tucker was also directed by the court to pay APCHA’s attorney fees.
“APCHA filed this lawsuit in March of 2006 after spinning its wheels procedurally with Ms. Tucker during much of 2005,” said Tom McCabe, housing director. “APCHA has a number of pending cases where the rental program is being |
